Free Video About Brushes and Their Uses

What Brush Does What?

When artists are first starting out,

a common question is...

What brushes should I buy?

Here is a video that shows you many brushes,

what they do, and how to use them.

Care for your brushes.

It's super important to take good care of your brushes.  

I recommend you buy the best brushes you can afford,

but don't go into debt for them.

Having said that, you want to take care of them so they will last.

When I am finished with a painting session I wash them in the kitchen sink with warm water and Dawn dishing washing liquid.  

I rub the soap all the way through and rinse thoroughly.  

I reshape them between my fingers to get out any excess water and dry them flat on paper toweling.  

Never dry or store your brushes with the bristles down.

If you will take care of your brushes you will have them for a long time.  I've had some of my brushes for 17 years. 

Brushes do wear out but they can still be used for specific things even when they are past their prime.  I seldom throw a brush away.

That could be my pack rat nature though.

Enjoy the video.
